Dereliction and Building Regeneration Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I thank all the staff for their support and professionalism throughout this term. The need to streamline the CPO process has been mentioned. This is really important because the process is not user-friendly, certainly not in Dublin City Council. Limerick was mentioned as being an exemplar in terms of dealing with derelict sites. Dublin City Council is particularly poor at dealing with...

Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Statements (13 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I welcome the Dáil allocating time to address the unfolding horror we are seeing in Palestine due to the violence by Israel. It has been several years since I visited the Gaza Strip, but the destruction I witnessed then will never leave me. Gaza is actually an open-air prison. There is the wall that stops any movement, whether that is people coming or people going. People are only...

Planning and Development (Provision of Public Housing) Bill 2023: First Stage (13 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' Time."

Planning and Development (Provision of Public Housing) Bill 2023: First Stage (13 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act Bill to amend the Planning and Development Act 2000 and to repeal section 97(3)(b). The purpose of this Bill is simple. It is stated in the Title. It is to ensure and protect the provision of public housing. Where this is particularly relevant is in dense urban areas. The Part V exemption of section 97(3)(b) should...

European Council Meeting: Statements, Questions and Answers (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State for being present to listen to us as we critique the recent EU Council meeting. Some two weeks ago here in this Chamber we heard in pre-EU Council meeting statements from several Deputies condemning the brutal actions of apartheid Israel and the murderous rampage it is waging on the Palestinian people. We asked that this condemnation be echoed at the Council...

Investment in Football: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I welcome this important motion. Deputy Ó Ríordáin captured the romance of football. I send my well wishes to the women’s football team, in particular Abbie Larkin, who is from the heart of football in Ringsend, in the Women’s World Cup, which is starting on 20 July. League of Ireland football is in a good place, but that will stop being the case if we do...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I understand we are really tight for time so I will be to the point, and I would appreciate if the answers could be to the point as well. When the contract with Sky expired, did the GAA approach any other broadcasters? If not, why not? In the witnesses' opinion, is RTÉ's involvement in GAAGO in conflict with its remit as a public broadcaster when it is RTÉ's responsibility to...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: Mr. Ryan does not have a view on that then.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: How does it reflect on the GAA that in this day and age, female footballers and camogie players are on our television screens week in, week out having to hold protests at matches to try to get basic minimum standards in place? I acknowledge and support the women camogie players and footballers. Will the GAA intervene? Clearly, it cannot wash its hands of this particular issue because when...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I am sorry for interrupting but what is the GAA doing to ensure that female participants get equality?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: The GAA uses women footballers and camogie players to sell its tickets.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: The GAA cannot wash its hands of this though.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: They have not asked the GAA to intervene yet.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: The GPA has not asked the GAA to intervene.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: I will make a brief observation. Could the FAI's publications include Gaeilge? It is important that there is Irish-language content going into schools and libraries. I ask that this suggestion be considered.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: How much has RTÉ invested in GAAGO?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: Given that people pay a licence fee already, is it fair to say that RTÉ is using GAAGO to double-charge the public for broadcasting which should be available as a result of paying a licence fee?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: Is that not what we are paying the licence for? Why do we have to double-pay it when we watch GAAGO?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: Would RTÉ consider replicating the GAAGO model for other sports?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Chris Andrews: It says in the document presented by Mr. McBennett that RTÉ plans to have 1,000 hours of sport. RTÉ will show 44 hours of League of Ireland coverage out of that 1,000 hours. That is pretty abysmal. RTÉ shows more foreign football than League of Ireland football. Surely the remit of a public service broadcaster is to promote our domestic game and our international teams...
